Conversation Prep
Before the Co-Parenting Handoff
A 15-Minute Prep for the Weekly Transition
This prep turns a reactive handoff into an intentional transition for the child.
For co-parents preparing for the handoff.
The Name It First Experience
Smooth is how it looks to you — intentional is what your child experiences. Before the Co-Parenting Handoff walks you through what your child needs from this specific transition: what they are carrying today, what they need from you at the door, and what you need to let go of before they cross it. It is for the co-parent who wants every handoff to be an intentional transition, not just a logistics exchange. You finish in 15 minutes, ready to show up for the child instead of the conflict.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does your child need from this handoff — and what would it mean to give them that consistently?
- What do you want the other parent to know going into this exchange?
- What would a cooperative handoff look like today, specifically?
Research basis
Grounded in Emery (1994) co-parenting communication / Ahrons (1994) on cooperative co-parenting transitions / structured handoff communication research in high-conflict and low-conflict co-parenting.
